ICTNS
The members of the Interdivisional
Committee on Terminology, Nomenclature and Symbols (ICTNS), whose
expertise covers all aspects of nomenclature and symbols, review IUPAC
recommendations before publication in the Journal of Pure
and Applied Chemistry; they are available for consultation about
requirements for acceptability. All represented disciplines (i.e. Divisions)
appoint two members to this Committee.
